>The American people as a majority contradicted Snowden's opinion

It took me 5 seconds to find this from Pew Research:

>A majority of Americans (54%) disapprove of the U.S. government’s collection of telephone and internet data as part of anti-terrorism efforts,

Just claiming that people agree with you does not make it so. By your logic the NSA has committed treason because a majority of Americans disapprove of what they're doing.

Treason is when you aid a foreign enemy or commit sedition,the NSA did not do that.

I have seen different polls that favor the FBI regarding backdooring iphones (to contrast with your poll).
